Well, now, that's the correct way to approach Country & Western music! It's really very brainy stuff, full of double and triple entendre. Goes way over the heads of snobs. Lots of wildly popular rock songs were written by country western songwriters and it would shock rock and roll fans to death if they knew that.

Thank you for getting me started on this. I found a Jimmy Rogers Lyric Site!

EVERYBODY DOES IT IN HAWAII

C D7
Talk about Hawaii, I didn't know it was so grand
G7 C G
I picked me out a hula-hula girl, before my boat could land
C G7 CEverybody does it in Hawaii
C G7 C
A yodel ay-hee, olay-hee, hee

E
CHORUS: She's got it here and she's got it there
A
Her lips are red and her feet are bare
D G
She's shy on clothes, but I don't care
C G7 C
'Cause everybody does it in Hawaii
C G7 C
A yodel ay-hee, olay-hee, hee

She's got two pretty legs with dimples knees
Two brown arms and they know how to squeeze
A perfect form, and I'm hard to please
But everybody does it in Hawaii
A yodel ay-hee, ay-hee, hee

F
yodel ay-hee, odle eedle ay-hee
C
yodel ay-hee, odle eedle ay-hee
C G7 C
A yodel ay-hee, olay-hee, hee

When I leave Hawaii, when I leave old Waikiki
I'm going to get my hula-hula girl, and bring her home with me
Everybody does it in Hawaii.
A yodel ay-hee, olay-hee, hee

Recorded by Jimmy Rodgers on The Short but Brilliant Life of Jimmy Rodgers
